Cosponsor and pass H.R. 5112 - "SAFER Voter Act"

Those who hold the highest office of the land, namely, voters who elect and by the taxes exacted from them pay the salaries of those who act as their representatives in every level of government, are being deprived of the fundamental rights guaranteed by our Constitution.

The passage of H.R. 5112 merely enacts the oath to, "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," which each member of the House of Representatives swore upon their induction.

Whereas the Constitution clearly states, "the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," this bill begins to roll back the unconstitutional infringement of the Constitutional rights of our citizens.

This is an opportunity to show bipartisan support between both Republicans and Democrats for our Constitution. It is an opportunity to defend our beloved Constitution and the Republic which it establishes against enemies, both foreign and domestic, who seek its destruction.

Note carefully, it is the Constitution which establishes your office and grants you the authority to hold your office and act as our representatives. Its overthrow is your overthrow.

Failure to do everything in your power to enact the intentions of this bill is nothing short of a dereliction of duty, a failure to keep your oath, and an abdication of the office to which each of the members of the Michigan Delegation to the House of Representatives were elected.
